The Ute Indian Trouble.

The War Department has received
General Crooks report of the recent
Ute Indian trouble in Colorado. 1t is
very lengthy, and substantially shows
that the trouble was precipitated all
through by the whites. The Indians
were not guilty Of horse stealing and
had settled their dispute with the
horse traders. Nevertheless warrants
were issued and attempts made to
serve them without explanation.
They were fired on without cause, and
afterward when they agreed to 60 to
the reservation the Sheriff did not
keep his agreement. but proceeded
against them with the militia and
deputies. Another conflict was pre-
cipitated in which two whites were
killed and several wounded, one
Indian killed and five fatally wounded.
All that prevented serious outbreak
was the arrival of Lieutenant Burnett
Of the army, who succeeded in induc-
ing the Indians to 60 to the reserva-
ton leaving behind all their property.
From the outset, with but one slight
interruption, the Indians were
pursued necessarily and in every case
the whites were the aggaessors and
fred. Colorow had no desire to fight
and made use of his weapons in self
defense only.

The !" Never Go HOmes.''

The New York News says there used
to meet in a beer cellar not mile from
Washington Square company OF
merry young fellows who called them
selves the "Never Go Homes" They
were all good boys, hard workers and
Jolly fellows. Every Saturday evening
during the Summer they would charter
cabin sloop, provision her literally
with cold provender and combustibles,
and go sailing down the bay OF up the
river till Monday. On Sunday was
coming up from Staten Island in cat
boat. 1t had been a red-hot, showery
day, and the air was like steam. We
passed sloop at anchor which hailed
us by name. 1t seemed to be manned
by negroes, all in blue shirts. When
we ran up to her the compilations of
the crew resolved themselves into a
fine, deep indigo. They were the
"Never 60 Homes" On their way
to the dock the evening before they
had come across a lot OF tempting
blue flannel shirts in Bleeeker street
Cheap John shop and invested in one
apiece. The rain and the perspiration
had brought the dye out, and as they
had not enough fresh water aboard to
wash in, they wore their uniforms till
they had landed. They never thought
of losing their days fun in the interest
of their skins.

FOATY.FOUR SAVAGE ROUNDS.
bloody Western Prize Fight
that Ended in n Draw.


What sporting men call the
"gamest prize fight ever seen in
Illinois " took place near Kankakee
early Sunday morning between Billy
Watson, of Chicago, and Tom Duffy,
OF Ohio. They fought with two
ounce gloves. The prize was for $3.50
a side and gate money. Duffy, who
is % years old, stripped at 145 pounds.
Watson is % years old and weighs
1873 pounds.
Duffy's nose bled in the third
round and he was knocked off his feet
in the seventh, but in the same round
he sent Watson to Ills knees. In the
twelfth round Duffy forced Watson to
his corner and dealt him two terrific
blows, but Watson replied with a
right-hander that split Duffy's lip. In
the thirteenth round Duffy broke a
small bone in his right wrist, and in
the fifteenth his nose was broken by
Watson. The men fought on des-
perately and both were disgusting
mass of bruises and cuts. After s
O'Clock, when the fight had been 60
ing on an hour, the doors were thrown
open that the men might continue the
struggle by daylight. At the end of
the thirty-seventh round the men
were in such condition that the
spectators asked that the fight be
closed, but the referee ordered the
fighters at it again, and the stagger-
ing, blood-covered wretches struck
aimlessly at each other until the forty
fourth round was reached, when they
were so done up that the fight was
declared draw. 1t lasted two hours
and fourteen minutes.

LEAMEN SENTENCED.
He Will be Hanged at Genoa ON
November 20.


GENOA, New, Sept. 3O.-This morn
ing in the District Court Judge Rising
sentenced Charles Leamen to be
hanged in the County Courthouse
yard here on Friday, November rs.
Leamen killed John A. Scott at
Taylor's ranch, Lake Valley, CAL, on
Sunday, August %. The story as
given by Fie Bronson, the only eye
witness of the murder, is straightfor-
ward and was as follows: Leamen
and Scott had been having good
time together. Leamen wanted Scott
to sing "Tim Finnigan's Wake"
Scott said he would sing if he felt like
it. Leamen threatened to make him
sing and raised up in his chair as if to
strike him, when Scott struck Leamen
over the eye with his fist. Leamen
then got a bottle of whisky and said
he was going to bed. After he had
been in his bedroom for few
minutes Scott stepped to the door Of
Leamen's room and asked him to
come out and have drink, when Lea
men stabbed Scott through the heart
with a pocket-knife. Scott turned partly
around from the force OF the blow,
and as he did SO blood spurted over
the clothes of Bronson. AS Scott
turned round he said, "I.ook at that"
and staggered across the room into
the kitchen and fell dead. Scott was
an American, between 35 and 40 years
Of age lately from Placerville, Cal.
He had been employed on dairy
near Rowland's and had only been
hired by Taylor on Saturday to cook
on the ranch. Leamen is said to
have come from Sacramento county.
The doomed man betrayed no per-
ceptible emotion when the terrible
sentence was pronounced.

The Commercial Traveller.

Said commercial traveller to a Min
neapolis reporter the other day:
"People have a strange idea that all
travelling men are necessarily hard
cases and consequently full of liquor.
Only those who know us can fully un-
derstand us. In our average trips we
visit 500 different localities, and our
stomachs must be loaded with as
many kinds of water and cooking OF
different men and women. Besides
this our hearts and lungs must labor
under all kinds of air below and above
sea elevation. Now how is it reasons
BILE to suppose that we are constantly
'boozing or doing anything that must
iniure our stomachs and minds, when
we every day transact business with
hundreds OF men Of different tempera-
ments?"

Vieuxtemps had hastened to get a
boat, and was rowing with water
man to the rescue of the unhappy
creature, who was floundering about
and just managing to keep himself
afloat. AS they reached him, and
were preparing to pull him into the
boat, there was roar from the bridge;
"Leave him alone-there is bet

on his oars, refusing to make any
further attempt to save the drowning
man and Vieuxtemps saw him sink
before his very eyes.-Chambers'

A MULE FALLS FORTY FEET.

Crashed HeadfOremOst Into a Well,
HauIed Ont and Put to Work.
Philip Donaghy's big mule created
more excitement down in the Twenty.
sixth Ward the other day than that
usually quiet neighborhood has known
since the day, away back in the Summer
of '85, when Widow Brady's goat fell in
a sewer and seriously injured two boys
from Webster's brickyard who were fool.
hardy enough to go into the sewer to
help the goat out. The goat was rescued
unhurt, and the story of his mir.
aculous escape has been the chief topic
of conversation among the local toughs,
sporting men and small boys in general,
until yesterday, when "Jerry," long.
lank, tan.colored mule, dived down q
we'll forty feet deep and stood on his
head at the bottom until he was drawn
up by means Of derrick, with only q
few scratches to tell the tale.
The startling event happened just back
of Long lane. Jerry was driven by
Jimmy Dougherty, squint-eyed youth,
whose face is freckled by the suns of
seventeen Summers. Dougherty's route
lay from the brickyard to triangular
strip Of land situated between Long lane
and Twenty.frst street. On the central
portion of this land is an old well, now
dry, forty feet deep, with brick.lined
circumference. The top is covered with
boards. At noon Jerry, piloted by
Dougherty, landed load of bricks at
their proper destination near by. The
youth then proceeded to unhitch Jerry,
preparatory to feeding him. When the
cart was detached Jimmy walked across
the treacherous boards and war.scarred
Jerry attempted to follow. As he planted
his front feet on the thin boards they
suddenly gave way with terrific crash,
and down the mule went, head first,
with frightful rapidity, before the eyes
of the astonished boy. The descent was
accompanied by an unpleasant sound,
caused by the friction of the mules
back against the rough surface of the
impressed bricks. Finally his head col.
lided with the bottom. Then followed a
series Of the strangest sounds the neigh.
bors had heard for many day. Jerry
snorted and beloved and danced clog
on the side of the we'll, all at the same
time, while above his terrified driver
called loudly for help.
The news spread like wild fire. Peo.
pie squares away heard the commotion
and rushed to the spot. A crowd soon
gathered. All eyes peered anxiously
down the dark hole whence the horrible
sounds emanated. A derrick was pro.
cured and fitted up with strong ropes.
Then one of the workmen was slowly
lowered into the cavity. He carried a
small lantern and the excited spectators
held their breath as the light sank lower,
until it reflected the glitter of the shoes
on the mules hind feet. At the peril of
his life the daring man fastened rope
around the animals hind legs. He gave
signal and the. derrick was started. As
the crank revolved the mules struggles
increased. The machinery groaned un.
der the strain. but the rope held fast,
and exactly at 1885 P. M. the animals
tail made its appearance amid tremen-
dous enthusiasm. Jerry was working at
o'clock the same afternoon.-Philadel-
phia Times.

Some Of the speculators in real estate,
who are asking fifty dollars front foot
for twenty.dollar property, are beginning
to hint sround that the boom is not as
booming as they would like to see it,
They never attempt to explain why they
expect to get such an awful advance on
their property. They merely demand it,
and then stand around and frown be-
cause they don't get it. 1t is real hard

cases. San Jose News.
